CHARLES CO rrosi, oil the Tagus, has arrived at the Admiralty with dispatches, stating the surrender, by capitulation, of the .Russian fleet in , the Port of Lisbon, on'the following terms, viz. the Ships, Nini Sail of the Line and One Frigate, to be held in dePosit by his Majesty until six months after a Defi nitive Treaty of Peace is concluded between his Majesty and the Emperor of Russia, and to be then restored. " The R ussian Officers and Seam'en of the fleet to be sent I mmediately to Russia, without conditions. " I have the iionasur to be, " My Lord, " Your Lordship's, &c. " MULCRAVE." • We are not yet sufficiently in possession of the 'i.e.rits which occurred subsequent to the Battle of tfte 21st. nor with the motives which induced the General to conclu..le such a Convention, to !ate us to wive any decisive opinion upon this sub -le'''' B ut we confess the result is not by any means so favourable, as we expeaed. After the glorious. Vieories of the' 17th and 2 Ist ult.—after-a .proposi tion from JUNOT to capitulate, we certainly did not "Pea to hear of a Convention by'which he was to evacuate Portugal. Uninformed, however, as we are ,with regard to the details, it is our duty to sus- Pend our judgment until they are 'laid before the' la n die. But Whether .the Convention which has been entered into has been such a one as we had a : light to expect, or not, still there cannot be two opinions with regard to the advantages which must result to this Country from this. event.• The large Poree which has been employed in Poitugal is now at liberty- (and _certainly at a most important mo &nen') to co7operate with the gallant Spaniards, or to be employed wherever War the circumstances of the fro th the may Portugal is ife require. e aually reliev e d French yoke;' her Ports are op en to us, Yoke and o ur Fleet is relieved from a .most harassing and dangerous service. The reason. we understand, which'has b een as signed for sig n i ng a Convention containing Terms very favourable to the French, is, that there Was a great dirEcUlty of keeping up a communi cation with the ViEtuallers, frern the violence of the Surf. The details of this transaCtion will be pub lished in an Extraordinary Gazette this evening.— * We , have milt' 16 add, that the whole of the French Ar m.' in Portugal is to be conveyed, in British Ships, to I'reneit Ports, not as Prisoners of - War, and that t hey are to take with them their arms, artillery, ba ggage, horses, &c., and each of the privates to be allowed Go rounds of ball cartridge. Having obtain ed these terms for himself, JUNOT did not make any stipulation- in favour of his Russian Allies; they were left to obtain the beat terms they could for themselves. vv e entertain the, most sanguine e x p e a at i ons that We shall shortly have to announce the capture, or destruction, of the whole Russian Fleet in the • The accounts brought by the.Gottenburgh Mail state, that the Russian Fleet, consist i f the 9g of ni ne S a il o Line, had taken refuge in Port Baltic, near and that they were blockaded by ten Swedish, and two English Sail of the Line, under Sir SAMUEL HOOD --that Sir JAMES SAVAIA EZ had obtained •in forrnation of their situation, and was proceeding thi ther with four Sail of the Line': -Govtfrnment have received. intelligence to a similar efeCi... = - z ..,.,..._.., r 'this morning we received Spanish Papers to th 6 oth inst.—The following are the most interesting at - ticks they contain : Gisobt, SI3/T.

LEON, AUG. 25.—Yesterday orders were given to all the Divisions of Gallicia, to assemble in this City.on the ist of 'September, and for the whole Army to march the following day for Burgos. The French are in number, from '35 to 40,000 men: The Army of Gallicia is about 40,000, and that of Asturias will amount to 30,000. It is to be ob served, that the day of the attack, of which day we are ignorant, though the 7th of September is named, the greater part of our Armies will join, in order to attack the French in different points, and to surround them. The Army of Spain, which will enter into Astoria, in conjunction with our Allies, will amount to 70,000 men 3 Consequently we ex= pea, than not a single Frenchman will escape tut of Spain.--(Santiago Diary, Aug. 3 .) [From the Salamanca Gazette of the 24th August.) AStORGA, AUG. l2.—Yesterday arrived here the . .English,General DOYLE, commissioned by the Bri tish Government for the conveyance of the Spanish prisonzrs, in number about 3000, who are, coming to join our army. The same Officer has also brought complete, cloathing, muskets, flints, ammunition, belts, shirts, stockings, and shoes, for 10,000 men, with 200,000 lbs. of cheese ; all of which is really on the road for the army. There has also arrived at arunna a million of dollars,.and an equal quantity at Gijon, with 314000 musquets, and cor responding ammunition. How treat the difference in the condua observed by the mortal enemies of the Continent and that of the regenerators of Europe; the former hae re paid our alliance, the immense sacrifices we have .made to maintain it, and , the welcome recep tion we have given them in our houses, with robbery, with assassinations of every kind, with the abominable projed of overturning our Constitution, religion, our manners, and customs ; and lastly, with the odious desire of loading us with chains, in order to serve their, iniquitous ends ; ,while the latter pour out their treasures, and all kinds of resources, that we may preserve our 'laws, 'our independence, and whatever we hOld most valuable in life. Love and eternal gratitude l to the generous Islanders, the saviours of Europe! Everlasting execration to the monsters of the human species ! SALAMANCA, AUG. 2U.—General Dome and our inestimable Duke DEL INFANT e ID O arrived yesterday in -this city; and have set out for Alva de Torres, where General CUESiA has his head-quarters. We may expe& the most flattering consequence from the interview of these personages. . BARCELONA, AUG. J.—Under the specious pre text of having to treat with them on important mat ters, the French General LECCHI invited to him the Priors of S. Domingo and S. Augustin, Count SANTA CLARA, Marquis CASTELLOLI, Marquis DE RIVAS, and other Gentlemen, but on their complying with this invitation, he sent them to the Citadel, where they are still confined.—(Ovielo Gaz. zlug. 3 1 .) VICE', AUG. 6.—The illustrious Junta of Valles informed that of this place, under date of 4th of this month, that Don FRANCISCO BARCA,LO, Commander of the Distria of Mataro, had determined, in concert with the Commander of the Enlish cruizers, to attack the Castle of Mongat, the rallying point of the enemy. Although the English began aS early as the 29th ult. to mantruvre for that purpose, they were. notable to disembark until the 3 1 St, at whicli time our troops had already rendered themselves mas ters of the height of Cadena, made a lodgment in the covered way, and compelled the Enemy to retreat to their quarters, from whence they continued to make smile resistance, until the arrival of a detachment of . the English troops, to which the Garrison surrendered, .from fear of being put to the sword in case of their suirenderitig to our soldierS. The Enemy's loss can not be ascertained; but when the Castle surrender-• ed go French only were found alive, who were made prisoners, and seven pieces of cannon, a great number of muskets, and a large quantity of ammu nition and provision fell into our hands. [Prom the Niel) Gaiette, Sept. 3.3 CATALONIA, Rtus, j&L'ir O.—An Officer l just arrived at Tairagona; er.preki troni itosaS; with intelligence that an Aid-de-Camp of NAroLiOic had been niade Prisoner, with dispatches for General DUHES.SIIi, in which he informs hitt he. tan only'` send 7000 new-raised t orticripis to his assistance.--; The same Officer states ; . that 300 Fi - eriCh had de= serted . from the Castle of San Fernando. Several deserters from Majorca assure Us; that many of their companions would desert if they knew they should not be considered as prisoners Of war. This has induced our General to issue a proclamation, which has been introduCed at Majorca, offering every deserter two, dollars, and his rank in the army. VALENTIA, AUG. Ig.—The supreme Junta Of Government has been pleased to appoint their Ex.;', cellencies Count DE CONTAMINA and Marquis DE CASTEL RODRIGO, Deputies to the Central Junta, and Don PAsciutr., RODENAS, Commissary at War, Secretary. The Austrian and Russian Ambassadors in Madrid carry on their diplomatic correspondence with their Courts through the medium of the Su preme ,Junta of this place. From hence the Dispatches are sent to Trieste, , and from that place to Vienna and Petersburgh. This arrange ment seems to warrant a hope that the two Cabinets will not hesitate to join in the Most vigorous mea sures to strike down the Tyrant, whose satellites' publicly declare, that they intend to march from - Spain toAustria, and from thence to Russia; so that, according to the plan and system of NAPOLEOI , i, there is not to remain in Europe one single Crowned Head of the ancient Royal Familirs. MADRID, AUG. 24.—Yesterday arrived hiS cellency Don FRANCISCO XAVIER CASTANOS, and the van guard of his army. It is impossible to form an idea of the enthusiasm manifested by the geOple ,on this occasion; each vying with the other to ex -press their admiration, gratitude, and .joy. • BAD.A.IOZ, AUG. 6.—Dun DUNETI CDRIES, Wild was sent by Dou FREDERICA MURETI, Cu:umatider of the Spanish troopsin &ma, • with a !, : patches tQ the Junta of Coiinbra arid Oporto ; and to the Portn-. guese and Engli,h Generals, has under this day's date, to his Excellency 4-,;:310 G(lte ral of Estremadura, *hat lia l , p,-ncd,on his voyage, of which report we shall 1 2 . ; the must ithere,tiog parts, in the following c.xrails: " The English General Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY, who was in Figuera, did me the honour to, take me to the reVeir of his troops, who were disejn.. barked that day (the 7th instant), and fornied a corps of 7000 foot and 4 0 horse, accompanied 'by an excellent park of artillery. On the Bth arrived another English Squadron from , Cadiz, having on board 5000 infantry, who began to disembark on the gth in the morning. • . " Before I withdrew, the English General in formed me, that he still expected h,OOO men of the Royal English Guards ; and when his whole Army should be assembled, he should set out on his march to Lisbon ; and desired me to assure • his Excellency, that by rendering himself master of the left Banks of the Tagus, which was not occupied by the Enemy, he would answer for the capture of the capital. If JUNOT did not surrender within ten days, according to the Summons which should be sent him, he would put all the French to the sword. I. represented to' him the damage which the Russian Squadron might do us, when, taking me by the hand, he said, with a smile.--" They are ours." We this day present to our Readers the contents of the Paris Papers, which we have received down to the gth. The most important articles are two Reports from the Minister for Foreign Affairs, ad dressed to BUONAPARTE, and a Message from the latter to his obsequious Senate. The great influx of various matter will not permit us to enter at present into such observations as these articles naturally suggest. It is evident that whatever BLIONtkPARTE may say of his force and of his intentions, he is by no means without alarm. The proposed augment ation of his armies may be. intended as much to secure submission at home, as to keep the Conti nental Powers in check, and, to renew. the Ekpedi tion against Spain. By private letters from Sidney Cove we learn, that Major JOHNSON • was induced to adopt the strong measure of securing the person of Governor BLIGH, as well to exempt hi m f rom d anger, as to avert the popular tumults which threatened to break out every moment. The Governor, these letters say, at first determined to resist the intention of Major Jontl - to arrest him, and having dressed in full uni form, waited, sword in hand, to receive him, - buc. betbre the . former arrived Governor BLIGH had; concealed himself; and, after an hour t •search,! was found under a bed, from whi c h h e was' dragged by th e heels. Major JOHNSON imMediately issued a Proclathation to quiet the minds of the' people, and, it is said, that the inhabitants of the Settlement were so much rejoiced at the event which had happened, that a general illumination took place for three nights. We do not pretend to know any particulars reSpeaing the conduct which excited this' popular ferment, or how far Major JOHNSON'S pro-_. i ceedings are justified by the state of affairs-in the colony.
